Dear Group members! Since I have set up a Samba PDC-Server (openSUSE 11.2-64bit with default package Samba 3.4.3) approx. 8 months ago, I have encountered 3 or 4 times a severe crash of Samba. What happens is that all over a sudden Samba floods /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn with the following message (cropped out date/time/servername, etc.): smbd[19724]:

Hello there This morning our main Samba server was pretty unresponsive running at a 30+ load average. After digging a bit what I found in the logs was the following. No data on inotify fd?!

I've got a samba server that's occasionally spewing inotify errors. The classic, "smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler No data on inotify fd?" type errors solved by kernel change notify = false Now, everything is working perfectly on this box unless one or two users leave files open from specific machines (this is as far as I can tell, it's hard to get good info from the

Hello, One of the server I maintain has Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server with samba 3.0.28a. Kernel version is 2.6.24-16-server. The samba setup for this server is a workgroup environment, with user level security. At least once a week, sometimes more often, the server becomes unavailable because the system disk is full. It appears that the samba logs are the problem. Although the samba configuration

Hi there We have a Samba-based "upload server" where people put files to be processed. Anyway, when they upload files, a Unix-based script runs and moves the files off. However, the Windows explorer app doesn't "notice" the removal, and the user still sees the files. If they F5/refresh explorer, the files indeed have disappeared. If I have two explorer windows open

A few months ago we bought a GIS software. It is running under Windows XP Pro. This software has stored its databases in dbf files, located on one samba share. Executables reside on each WinXP Pro client. The software simply uses dbf databases located on samba share. Each session of the gis opens about 500 files. I have four workstations that are allowed to run this software. [kirchner]

I service a small office with 6 XP computers. I just installed a server running CentOS 5.4 and Samba 3.0.33. They use a program called "On-screen Takeoff". This program accesses a couple database files that live on the shared drive. "Projects.ldb" and "Projects.mdb" On-screen takeoff stays open all day, and maintains access to it's database files all day.

Hi, I'm going through my messages log and I've noticed a large amount of the following error going on. What affect would this have on the smb client that is connected to those pid's?

Have a 2003 server located outside of the Domain network over a VPN. The server originally existed inside the network (10.1.1.0/24) but now exists on 10.10.12.0/24.

Hello, We are using Samba 4.10.16 as a file server on a linux box with SLES 12. All is working fine with our NAS NFS Shares. We are now trying to integrate new NFS Shares from an archive provider, but samba gets crashed when a client tries to access files on these shares. New start of samba is required! In the smbd.log, I see these entries: [2020/06/24 17:58:23.118208, 1]

To get MeetMe working properly, I know some sort of timing device provided by the zaptel package is required (even if it means the zt_dummy). But, on a virtual machine I know that the Linux timing won't work as expected. Is it possible to then dedicate a physical device like a USB port or something to the virtual machine to use for the timing interrupts? Thanks.
